DEATH OFVJOHN 110.4011.
THE VETERAN SHIPBUILDER SUC-
CUMBS TO- CANCER.
Many Letters From Friends Indicate the
High Esteem In Which He Was Hold.
Ex-Secrctary Chandler Pronounces u
Glowing Eulogy.
NEW YORK, Jan. ll.—.lohn Roach died
at 3:06 o‘clock yesterday morning. It
had been known for nearly three hours
that he was dying, and all the members of
his family were gathered around his bedside.
He was conscious up to 5 o’clock, but his last
words were spoken some hours previously.
His tongue was not involved, the cancer
being on the roof of the mouth, but he spoke
only with pain and dificulty because of the
trouble with the muscles of the throat and
the sympathetic affection of the muscles of
the tongue.
Dr. E. B. Belden had notified the family
early Sunday night that Mr. Roach could
not live many hours at the longest, and they
were consequently diSposed to pass the night
in his room, but when the time arrived at
which they usually left him he signified a
wish that they should retire, and they did so.
That was at 11 o‘clock. Dr. J. B. Taylor, an
intimate friend of Mr. Roach; the Rev.
Howard Cross, of Poughkeepsie, another
intimate friend, and the attending nurse
were the only persons that remained through-
out the night with the dying man.
Just before the family left his room he
signified to Dr. Belden that he wished to
speak to him, and when the doctor leaned
over him he asked:
"How long—how longi”
“It is almost over," replied Dr. Belden,
and then he added: “Are you glad that yo
suffering will be at an end soon?” -
“ch1“ answered Mr. Roach.
These were the last words he spoke.
Several tames afterwards he appeared
anxious to say something, but did not suc-
ceed. He sank gradually during the night,
and became visibly worse about daybreak.
At. 5:15 o’clock he suddenly fell into a state
of coma, and it was evident that he was
dying.,_ The members of his family were
summoned, and they all remained about his
bedside until he died. The members of the
family present were Mrs. Roach, John B.
Roach, wife and three children, of Chester,
Pa; Mr. Roach’s eldest daughter, Mrs. W.
R. McPherson, and her husband, of Phila-
delphia; Mr. and Mrs. Garrett Roach,
Stephen W. Roach, the youngest son; Miss
Emeline Reach, the youngest daughter, and
John Walton, a nephew.
Death approached very gradually and came
so quietly that it was difilcult to say just
when it occurred. It was due, the doctors
said, to exhaustion consequent on the can-
cer.
Mr. Roach‘s death was known in the
neighboring cities soon after the Opening of
business, and before the day was half over
letters, telegram and messages of condolence
began to pour into the house of mourning.
Among the telegrams was one from James
E. Ward 6:. Co., the owners of the Havana
Steamship line, in which it was said: “Amer-
ica has lost one of her greatest citivens and
we one of our best friends.”
C. H. Mallory, the principal of the Mallory
line, wrote: “I feel thatI have ‘lostan old
and esteemed friend. For many years I have
been intimately connected with Mr. Roach in
business matters, and take great pleasure in
saying that I have never known a more fair
and honorable business man. He will be a
great loss to all with whom he has had any
dealings and to the country at large.”
Telegrams or letters of condolence were
also received from J. B. Houston, president
of the Pacific Mail Steamship company; W.
& A. Fletcher, the builders of steamboat
engines, and Dr. J. J. Edmondson, of Phil.»-
dolphin.
Among the callers during the day were ex-
Secretary of the Navy Chandler and United
States District Attorney Stephen A. Walker.
Mr. Chandler said, when asked for his opinfon
of Mr. Roach: “He was the greatest unedu-
cated man I have ever known. His mind
was large, aswell as acute. He meditatod
deeply upon a great variety of subjects be.
sides those connected with his bushess, and
convorsed interestingly upon all. He was
intellectually a man of remarkable power.
With more education he would have been
among the foremost leaders of his day and
country. He was, in fact, one of the most
wonderful products of Irish birth and Ameri-
can experience. He was emphatically a man
as wise as a serpent and as harmless as
a dove; truthful, straightforward, honest
and upright in all his dealings. I don’t be-
lievehe over sought or obtained an unfair
business advantage. He was absolutely
withcu: guile. He was tender hearted to.
fault, overflowing with the milk of human
kindness, and was all his life engaged in
helping the needy and deserving. He never
harmed a human being. and crowded his life
with good deeds towards his fellow men. He
died broken hearted, but free from ani-
mosity, and leaves a name and reputation
which will always be held in the highest
honor by the workingmon and citizens of
America", .
The funeral will be held at 11 o'clock
Thur-day morning, in St. Paul’s Methodist
church, under the charge of the Rev. Dr.
McChesnoy, the pastor of the church. Bishop
Harris, of the Methodist Episcopal church,
will take part in the ceremonies. Mr. Roach
and his family have attended this church for
many years. The interment will be made in
the family burial plot in Greenwood ceme-
tery. It had not been decided who would be
invited to act as pall bearers. >

A Judge Falls Dead.
CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—Judge John S. Rogers,
chief justice of the circuit court of Cook
county, fell dead in a dry goods store yester-
day afternoon. While paying a bill at the
cashier‘s desk he suddenly dropped to the
floor in what appeared to be an apoplectic
fit, gave two or three gasps and was dead.
Judge Rogers was born in Glasgow, Ky.,
Dec. 28, 1818. In July, 1870, he was elected
to the circuit bench of Cook county, and has
continued in the office since. He leaves a
widow and children.

Itossa Around.
1\' aw YORK, Jan. 11.-—O’Donovan Rossa, in
this week’s issue of -The United Irishman,
handles, without gloves, the recent attacks
alleged to have been made upon him by the
Fenian Brotherhood. Among other letters
which he publishes is one from John F.
Kearney, stating that the $500 in dispute
“was spent for the liberty of Ireland," and
he will also challenge his traducers as fol-
lows: “I make public this proclamation to
my defamer. We will submit our accounts,
moneys, receipts and audits for'the last six
years to any six honorable men outside the
Fenian Brotherhood and the United Irish so-
cieties, three to be appointed by me and three
by my defamer, and let these six men rep'rt,
as for w it is safe, to the public.”
The Bricklayers.
Wasnnvorou. Jan. 11.—The annual con-
vention of the International Bricklayers‘
union is in session here. The convention is
likely to be an important one, as questions
of vital interest to bricklayers throughout
the country will be considered. The
discussion of the relations of the union
to ' the Knights of Labor will be one
of the most important matters before the
convention. The convention was called to
order by President Alexander Darragh, of
St. Louis, and District Commissioner Webb
delivered an address of welcome. - The ore-
dentials of 100 or more delegates present
were examined and permanent organization
effected.
Boston Tied Up.
Bosron, Jan. ll.—The long talked of tie
up on the Boston consolidated street car
lines occurred yesterday, and by 2 p. m.
every car was in the barns. There was more
or less excitement over the efiorts of the
company to run cars with new men, and a
number of arrests were made. The sym-
pathies of the people appear to be with the
strikers. The claim that the “trip” plan of
paying the men enables them to earn about
$1 a day. Other lines of street railroads are
reaping a rich harvest from the increased
travel on their cars. Only the Consolidated
company is affected. -
Canada Disturbed. ,
O'rrawa, Jan. 11.—It is current‘ rumor
here that, owing to dissentions in the Domin-
ion cabinet over the immediate dissolution of
parliament and the holding of a general elec-
tion, Hon. John C. Costigan, minister of . in-
ternal revenue has resigned, and that, on ac-
count of some disagreement as to the next
year’s estimates now being prepared, Minis- .
tor of Finance McLollan has also handed in
his reSIguat-ion. It is stated that Sir Charles
Tupper will succeed Mr. McLelIan, but that
Mr. Costigan’s,msignatiou will be flied until
after the general elections.
A TWO SIDED QUESTION.
PROS AND CONS ON THE INTER-
STATE COMMERCE BILL.
Bountor Beck Thinks the Bill Should
Pass and Senator Stanford Thinks It
- Should Not—The Method. of Custom
House Promotions—Notes. '
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11,—The interstate
commerce bill came up for discussion and
Senator Beck took the floor. Mr. Beck went
on to say that the report presented the issue
fairly between those who wished that the in-
terstate railways be operated subject to law
and those who desired the railroads to make
their own laws; that the present measure
was the result of ten years’ consideration on
the part of committees of the two houses, and
that the defeat of this measure would keep
the control of the commerce of the country
in the hands of the railroads. Mr. Beck
quoted from decisions of the courts showing
that it was the right and duty of congress to
legislate on this subject. He read from a
book on the “Railroads of the Republic,"
which stated that the Standard Oil company
received from the various railroads during
eighteen months rebates amounting to 810,-
000,000, and by reason of these rebates
crushed out all competition in the all trade.
He recommended this chapter to the various
commercial bodies that were sending in peti—
tions against the interstate commerce bill.
He believed that if these facts wore laid be-
fore any commercial body in America it
would vote against the continuance of such
outrages. He was not an enemy of the rail-
ro-ids; he only wanted them forced to show
equal justice to all; he would vote for the
bill because it would interfere with no legit-
imate rights of the railroads and would
bring about the result desired.
Mr. Cullum spoke in favor of the confer.
ence report. He said the bill had stood the test
of scrutiny to which it had been subjected by
the press and railroad companies. The fea-
ture most objected to was the long and short
haul clause, and that nus because it was
either misunderstood or misrepresented. It
waspossible he thought that any congres-
sional action might. in some respects, prove
ineffective, unless supplemented by state log-
islation, just as state legislation had been
found incomplete in the absence of national
legislation. He believed the measure when
fairly tested would prove beneficial both to
the railroads and the public.
Referring to the objections urged against
the short haul section that it is indefinitennd
ambiguous. the senator argued that but one
construction can be reasonably placed upon
this section, especially when considered, as it
must be, in connection with the other pron
visions of the bill. Mr. Cullum explained
the different sections of the bill.
Senator Stanford opposed the bill. It pro-
vided, he said, for a regulation of one species
of property which was not extended to other
species.
His argument was directed mainly agaimt
the section prohibiting railroads from charg-
ing less for the greater than the shorter haul.
He maintained that the shorter distance was
not charged any more because of the loss
rate for the longer distance and that the
longer distance business helps to maintain
the roads, and without that help perhaps
they could not do the shorter business at all.
The bill seemed not only to deny competion
by railroads, but to exhibit a tendency to
foster water ways to the positive discourage-
ment of railroad interests.
“If,” said thesenator, "railroading is a
legitimate business, and if it is only the
' aggregate Of the private property con-
tributed by the stockholders; if it is main~
tained and operated by the labor of indi-
viduals, what justification can there be for
depriving the owners of control and the
property of its full earning capacity within
the laws as they existed at the time of the
original investment, I am unable to see,
It seems to me, clearly, it is a violation of
of the rights of property and the rights of
the laborer to receive a compensation for
services performed. If this bill should be-
come a law, its consequences will be most
disastrous, in my judgment, to the various
business interests of the country. While
the railroad companies have practically
been as free to manage their business under
the common law, as those engaged in other
ceilings, the country has prospered. Accom-
modations have been given, and are given,
that promote the prosperity of long industry.
There has been no taking of property with-
out compensation, no control without owner.
ship, and the Anarchists in the history of the
country have thus far found little justifica-
tion in the example of the government for
violent taking of property. ”
In conclusion Senator Stanford said there
could be no valid objection to police regula-
tions, but only to that attempted regulations
which affects values directly and inevitably.
Miscellaneous Notes.
WASHINGTON. Dec. lL—Tho Star says that
new moves are being made in the game of
revenue reduction. Messrs. Randall and
Hiscock, with their respective followings,
started out to circumvent Mr. Morrison‘s
tariff plans. The Republicans who mop.
posed to the abolition of the internal revenue
are now planning to checkmate Mr. Randall
by voting to consider the ways and means
tariff bill if the house goes into committee of
the whole on revenue matters. Representa-
tive Anderson, of Kansas. said that if Mr.
Randall attempted to carry out his revenue
plans there would be enough Republicans
who would vote against his motion to lay
aside the Morrison bill to defeat it, and if
Mr. Morrison’s friends stood by him the bill
reported favorably by the ways and means
committee would be taken up. If this Oppo-
sition appears too strong Mr. Randall may
change his plans.
The regulations promulgated by the presi-
dent governing promotions in the New York
custom house provide that the board of ex-
aminers may at any time, with the approval
of the civil service commission, order an ex--
amination for promotion, five days” notice
being posted in the office for which such ex-
amination is to be held. Promotions shall
i
I
be from class to class, and the examination '
of persons in one class shall be to test their
fitness for promotion to the next higher class.
All persons in the class immediately. below
the class to'which promotions are to be made
and who have been in” said class for at least
six months, must be examined for promo-
tion. In grading the competitors due weight
must be given to the efficiency with which
the competition} shall have performed their
duties in tho 'ofilce, but none who shall have
failed-to- attain a minimum standard of 75
per cent. in the written examination shall be
certified for promotion. The whole list of
eligiblos from whom the promotion is to be
made shall be certified to the nominating
.oflicer. . . H
The supreme court of the United States has
rendered a decision in the case of Kingof the
Belgians at al. versus Mali, counsel. ”,The
question involved related to jurisdiction of
the courts of New Jersey, and is of inter-
national importance. A murder was re-
cently committed on a Belgian vessel lying
at a New Jersey wharf. The culprit was
arrested and lodged in a New Jersey jail.
The King of Belgian demanded: custody of
the prisoner (iii the ground that the crime
was committed on Belgian property, and’not
on the soil of the United States. The courts
of New Jersey held that while the crime was
committed one. foreign ship, the latter was
in American waters, and that the courts of
the state of New Jersey had jurisdiction.
The supreme court has affirmed this decision.
The Baltimore Sun says: There has been
a general resurrection of resignations in the
treasury department during the past week.
The letters written by nearly all the Repub-
lican ofiiciaIs‘early in the administration ex-
pressing a willingness to sever their connec-
tion with the department are now before Mr.
Manning, and those not already given per-
mission to depart may, it is said, expect their
dismissal in the near future. Several of those
who did not resign have been requested to do
so, and the impression naturally prevails that
many new faces will be seen in the depart-
ment before many weeks elapse.

of bills.
THE UNION PACIFIC.
President Adams Says No Money Has
Been Used Illegally.
BOSTON, Jan. ll.—President Adams, of
the Union Pacific Railroad company, has
written Senator Hoar and Congressman
Crisp, who have the Pacific railroad funding
bill in charge, denying in most positive terms
thatthe Union. Pacific has “spent, or ven-
fared in any- illegitimate way, a dollar" to
promote such legislation. He also says that
he has reason to know that the Central Pa-
cific is indifferent to the measure, if not
actually opposedto it. He asserts that he
has evidence that the'story of bribery was '
started by blackmailers and stock jobbers
for theiroWn pecuniary benefit at the ex.
pense of the permanent interests of the
Union Pacific road and of the government.
Mr. Adams further says that the Union Pa-
m'fic has no preference as between the two
measures pending,‘in the house and in the
senate. The provisions of both are too hos-
tile, and either would dangerously overload
the future resources of the company. But
the company is prepared to accept either,
and try to live up to its requirements, if by
so doing it can once for all end the continual
warfare upon it of those who seek to pro-
momote their own stock gambling interests
by false statements and insinuations.

NEW JERSEY’S FIGHT.
I
THE HOTTEST KIND OF A FIGHT
GOING ON.
lewell
Both in the Beat for the Senatorial
Prize—What In Claimed by Both Sides.
The Labor Element.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—The Sun prints the
following Trenton dispatch: Senator William
J. Sewell and Governor Leon Abbott began
their great catch-ascatch-can wrestle for the
United States senatorship. Big and little
politicians from all over Jersey were on hand
to do the standing around and howling
while the two giants tussled. Senator Sew-
ell planted his own vine and figtrec in the
famous old room 100 in the Trenton house.
Governor Abbott had the whole state house
for his own, and used it. Garrett A. Hobart,
WViIliam Bottle, Comptroller E. S. Anderson,
Treasurer John J. Toffey and several score
of other leading Republicans were the crowd
that kept Gen. Sewell’s rooms full. Allen -
. McDermott, Supreme Court Clerk Lee and
half a hundred more Democrats patronized
the State house.
.The Republicans had no outside worry on
their mind, except how to make John W.
Griggs and Frederick Fish both president of
one senate. This difficulty was settled early
by Senator Griggs concluding that he gamed
he didn't care much about it after all, and
withdrawing in favor of Senator Fish. The
Democrats had a heap of tribulations on their
minds. They had three men to make a
speaker of the assembly out of and 800 men
among whom to divide up half a dozen other
ofilces. At midnight the indications were
that Hudspeth, of Hudson, would be speaker
and William Pintard, of Monmouth, clerk.
The Labor party, meantime, is having an
elegant little time all by itself. Messrs. Hayes
and Beaumont, of the executive committee
‘ of the Knights of Labor, have come here
to help the two Labor legislators
raise Cain, and they are 'doing it to
the queen’s taste. They announced that they
were free and independent politicians, and
would go into no caucus but their own.
About this time McLaughlin, Dem., of Hud—
son and Matthews, Dem.. of Union also con-
cluded that the free and independent lay was
a good one, and joined the Labor party.
At midnight these four were in conference,
and it was asserted that one, and possibly
two, other Democratic members would join
them in keeping out of the Democratic
caucus. If two Democrats and the labor
men keep out, the Democrats will be short
of a majority to organize the house. Before
it comes to this, however, there will be a
pretty row over the case Of Walters, the
Democrat who holds a certificate for the
Second-(Mercer) district.
Although the court has decided that the
election resulted in atie. Republican Clerk
Toombs says he will not put Walters’ name
on the roll. Walters says he is going to
take the seat. Governor Abbott is trying to
decide what course to pursue. An attempt
to seat Walters by force at the organization
would be unpopular; but unless this is done,
Walters will not have a chance to vote on his
own case, and his vote may be necemary to
the retention of the seat. The Republican
senators are also caucusing on this
question. They are considering a scheme
to defeat the election of Abbott by
keeping out of the senate chamber and
until the assembly acts upon the Walters
case and on the case in Camden, where the
Democrat is alleged to_have been counted in.
They can thus postpone to their pleasure the
organization of the, legislature and the elec-
tion ofasenator. They justify this propo-
sition by escorting that the Democrats do not
pretend that Walters and the Camden man
are entitled to theirseats, but simply propose
to keep them in long enough to get their
votes for United States senator and then
settle the contested seat cases. .
The situation is very strained and there is
every prospect of a row. With the Labor
men holding the balance of power both in the
organization and election of United States
senator, Governor Abbott’s chances of being
Sewell’s successor are diminished, and thc
chances of John P. Stockton or some other
dark horse increased. Senator Sewell says
that he recognizes the odds against him, but
that he doesn’t propose to be swindlod. Gov-
ernor Abbott says he doesn’t propose to do
any swindling, but that he is going to be
United States senator, and there can’t any
blooming combination keep him out of it.
THE INDIANA FIGHT.
Lieutenant Governor Robertson Takes
the Oath Amid Confusion.
Ixmxiuroms, Jan. 11.—The hallways and
corridors of the Capitol were thronged by a
crowd of people, anxious to witness develop-
ments in the political struggle now a:
progress. All interest centered in the house,
where the galleries were densely packed,
while prominent politicians were present and
located in available positions for giving ad-
vice and assistance to their friends on the
floor. -
Directly after prayer the doorkeepor
stepped to the front of the speaker‘s chair
and announced the presence of the" senate—
the senate consisting of the nineteen Repub-
lican members of that body. Mr. Kellison
(Dem.) arose and called, "Mr. Speaker!" but
he was not recognized. The Republican
senators entered and took seats to the right
of the speaker, Mr. Kellison meanwhile
vainly claiming the speaker‘s attention.
The speaker immediately announced that
the business of the convention waste canvass
the vote for lieutenant governor, and Kelli-
son again sought a hearing, but was promptly
told he was out of order. Other Democratic
members also claimed the speaker’s attention,
but all were refused recognition.
The reading of the returns consumed half
an hour, and at its close, while the clerk was
making his computations, Mr. Jewett (Dem)
addressed the speaker, but was told that
nothing would be in order until the canvas
was completed. The result of the vote was
then announced as follows: Robertson,
232,916: Nelson, 229,593; Robertson’s ml»
jority, 3,323. Upon this Mr. Robertson was
sworn in by Judge “’alker, of the superior
court.
Said Speaker Sayer: “I declare Robert
Robertson the lieutenant governor of the
state of Indiana, and he will new address
you.”
Mr. Robertson instantly advanced to the
front of the speaker’s desk, and, taking the
gavel, rapped for order.
Mr. Gordon (Dem) raised his hand and
called “Mr. Speaker," but no attention was
given him. Mr. Jewett was treated in a
similar manner, but both managed to say:
“Mr. Speaker, we do not recognize the
legality of the joint convention”—pointing
to_the Republican senators—“where there is
.no representation of the senate except the
tag end of that body. lVe protest against
this usurpation of power, this disorganization
and overturning of precedent and law.”
This was the signal for all the Democrats
to begin a noisy demonstration. The confu
sion was so great that an individual speaker
could only be heard occasionally, and then in
a. disjointed, disconnected manner.
Mr. Robertson held his position at the desk,
and kept up a vigorous rapping with the
gavel. Notwithstanding the noise and t1:-
mult he proceeded to deliver his inaugural
address, but the noise was so great that it
was heard by but very‘ few. At its conclu-
sion he declared the joint convention ad-
journed, to reassemble in the same hall on
Wednesday, the 19th, to vote for United
States senator.
Speaker Sayer then took possession of, the
gavel, and, on motion of Mr. Gardner, the
house adjourned.
GOV ERNBR ABBETT’S MESSAGE.
“That Re Has to Say About the Method
of Taxation.
Tanx'rox, Jan. Ii.—Governor Abbott’s
message to the legislature is one of the
strongest state papers ever issued from the
executive department. It tach pronounced
grounds against convict labor,‘ and also
treats of the Insufficient school accommoda-
tions in various parts of the state. From
the tables the governor has had prepared it
is shown that the total tax value of property
in the state, outside of railroad property,-is
above $600,000,000; that upon this a taxof
$9,500,000 is imposed and collected; that the
average rate of taxation throughout the
state is therefore $1.50 on the $100, and that
railroad property pays $800,000 less at the
1 per cent. rate than it would if it were
taxed as other property. The governor
urged the passage of an act imposing equal
taxation on railroad and individual prop-
erty, and relies upon the showing of his
tables of the extent to which this would
relieve individual taxpayersto force mem-
bers to vote for its inclusion in the statutes.

mountain near Manitou, Cal, but was
taken sick when half a mile from the
summit and was obliged to stop. While
he was resting, enormous mountain
rats came out of the rocks and ran
over him, playing about without the
slightest fear. He could not drive
them away.
The book on which all the kings of
England, from Henry I. to Edward
VI., took the coronation oath, is in a
private library in England. It is a
manuscript of the four Evangelists,
written on vellum. The original bind-
ing, in a perfect'state of preservation,
consists of two oaken boards an inch
thick, fastened together with thongs of
leather.
Highlanders must have at one time
populated the whole United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland. It is an
obvious and salient fact. that the names
of most natural features—rivers, moun-
tains and lakes—have been given to
them by the old and great and still
surviving race of Celts. There is
hardly a single river name in the whole
of Great Britain that is not Celtic.
Goethe's house in Frankfort is now
visited by all tourists who pass through
that city. Among the recent curiosi-
ties stored in it is a Punch and Judy
box which used to amuse the poet as a
child. Another addition is the manu-
script of an essay on art and a copy of
the first edition of “ Hermann and
Dorothea," presented by Goethe to his
family."
The keeper of the archives for the
Hungarian county of Marmaros found
lately, stowed away with some ancient
registers, a packet bearing this inscrip-
tion: “Qualitas panis Marmatiei in
Pcnuria A. D., 1786.” (Quality of the
Mai-mares bread in the year of want,
1786.) The breadis partly composed of
oatmeal, but the greater proportion of
It is the bark of trees. The county
authorities have directed the specimen
to be preserved in the local museum.
Everybody has experienced the pain
of annoyance of “something getting
into the eye." What should be done
when this happens? la the majority
of cases, if the sufferer has the patience
to close the eye gently, and keep it im-
movably closed for from five minutes
to a quarter of an hour, the offending
particle will be safely and painlessly
washed away by the tears which the
eye will naturally shed at the time of
the occurrence. ‘
Among the old papers in the County
Clerk‘s office in Freehold, N. J ., is the
death sentence of a negro named Caesar.
It reads: “Therefore, the court doth
judge that thou, the said Caesar, shall
retum to the place from whence thou
camest, and from thence to the place
of execution, when thy right hand
shall be cut off and burned before
thine eyes. Then thou shalt be hanged
up by the neck tillthou art dead, dead,
dead; then thy body shall be cut down
and burned to nshesin a tire, and so
the Lord have mercy on thy soul,
Caesar."
A Coatcsville girl has steady company
in the person of a young man who is
forever and forever a-kissing her. She
likes a share of this sort of sweetmeats,
but quite frequently it pails on her
taste. lie invited her to ride the other
moonlight night and she accepted, fully
realizing that she would be made the
target of no end of osculatory practice.
Out on the road, in the moonlight, the
young man handed her the reins,
placed his arm about her waist and
then drew nearer to her. She said
nothing, but asking him to hold the
reins a moment, from somewhere be-
neath her wrap she drew out a base.

From solitude to solitude Is the order
in Alaska. The solitude of the forest
and the sea, of the mountain and ravine,
with those we had become more or less
familiar when our good ship headed for
the solitude of ice and snow. I began
to feel as if we were being dragged out
on the roof of the world—as if we were
tinent, writes a correspondent of the
San Francisco Chronicle from Alaska.
Sometimes there came over me a sense
of utter loneliness, of the distance that
lay between us and everybody else, and
of the helplessness of our case should
any serious accident befall us. It is
this very state, perhaps, that ages the
hearts of the hardicst of the explorers
who seek vainly to unravel the polar
history. -
From time to time as we sailed, the
sea, now a brighter blue than ever, was
strewn with fragments of ice. Very
lovely they looked as they hugged the
distant shore, a ghostly and fantastical
procession, home ever southward by
the slow current, and growing more
ghostly and fantastical hour by hour as
they dwindled in the clear sunshine of
the long Summer days. Anon the ice
fragments increased in number and
dimensions. The whole watery expanse
was covered with brash and we were
obliged to pick our way with consider»
able caution.
Often we narrowly escaped grazing
small icebergs that might easily have
disabled as, had we come in collision
with them. As it was, many an ice-
cake that looked harmless enough, be-
ing very low in the water, struck us
with a thud that was startling, or
passed under our old-fashioned side-
‘wheels, splintering the paddles and
causing our hearts to leap within us.
A disabled wheel meant a tedious dc-
lay in alatitude where the resources
are decidedly limited. Often we

THE HINDU WIDOW.
Locked Upon as the Evil One of M
Household.
The formal period of mourning for a
widow in Bengal lasts for. one month
with the Kayasths, the most 11mm
and influential class in that part of
India—the Brahmins keeping only ten
days. During this time she has to pro-
pare her own food, confining herself
to a single meal a day, which consists
of boiled rice, simplest vegetables, gin
orclarified‘ butter, and milk; shecan
on no account touch meat, fish, eggs, or
any, delicacy at all. She is forbidden
to do up her hair and to put any scent
‘ or oil'upon her body. She must put on
‘ the same cotton sari day and night even
when it is wet, and must eschew the
pleasure of a bed and lie down on bare
ground, or perhaps on a coarse blanket
spread on it; in some cases she cannot
even have her hair dried in the sun after
her daily morning ablation, which she
must go through before she can put a
particle of food in her mouth. The old
women say that the soul of amen after
his death ascends to heaven quickly
and pleasantly in proportion to the
bodily infiicticns which his wife can
undergo in the month after the death of
her husband. Consequently the new
mode widow, if not for any other _
reason, at least for the benefit of the
soul of her departed husband, must
submit to continuous abstinence
and excruciating self-infiictions. A
whole month passes in this state of
semi-starvation; the funeral ceremon-
ies, which drag on till the end of that
period, are all performed, and the rigid
Observances of the widow are a little
relaxed, if it may be so termed, since
the only relaxation allowed to heris
that she need not prepare the food
with her own hands, and that she
can change her clothes, but always
using only plain cotton saris. The real
misery of the widow, however, begins
after the first month. It is not enough
that she is quite heart-broken for her
deceased husband, and that she under-
goes all the above mentioned bodily
privations; she must also continually
bear the most gelling indignities and
the most humiliating self-sacrifices.
She cannot take an active part in any
religious or social ceremony. ,If there
be a wedding in the house the widow
must not touch or in any way interfere
with the articles that are” used to keep
the curious marriage customs. During
the poojahs, or religious festivals, she
is but grudgingly allowed to approach
near the object of veneration, and in
some bigoted families the contact of a
widow is supposed to pollute the mate-
rials rcguisite for the performance of
marriage ceremonies. The widow is,
in fact, looked upon as the “evil one”
of the house. If she has no son'or
daughter to comfort her, or, If she has
to pass her whole life, as is often the
case, with her husband’s family, her.
condition truly becomes a helpless one.
During any ceremony or grand occasion
she has silently to look on, others
around her enjoying and disporting
themselves, and if somekind relation
does not come to relieve‘her tedium she
has hardly any thing to do but to rumio
nate on her present sad, wretched con-
dition. Every female member of a
family, whether married, can go to par-
ties, but a widow cannot, and if she ex-
presses any wish to join the family on
such occasions it is instantly repressed
by the curt rebuke of her mother-in-
law or some other relation that “ she is
a widow, and she must not have such
wishes.”

“mm” mm That evening, at the reception, Mrs
Sharpe opened out bravely upon Pro
fessor von Dunkelhelm at the first op
portunity.
“As we were driving out in the
country this afternoon, Professor,” said
she, “I saw some of the most beautiful
herds of Jersey cows that I have eve;
seen in my life.”
. “Ah ‘9”
“And at one place the cows beyond
the fence contemplated us with such
gentle, tender eyes and such soulful
moos that for a'm‘om'ent I forgot their
practical value in their wsthetic af-
tractions. But after all, I'thought,i|
is not for their beauty that we shock
value them, but for the butter the}
produce.” .
H Um.” '
Mrs. Sharpe rattled on about the cow:
for a conversational mile or two with-
out drawing out any response from
the professor. “ It is because he think:
I don’t know anything about the way
butter is. made that he won’t talk,’
thought Mrs. Sharpe. “ Well, I will
convince him that I_ do know something
about it.” And she proceeded to dis-
cuss the creamery methods in vogue in
,Vermont, with an infinite deal of talk
about coolers and temperature and
mechanical butter workers, and so on.
She hadn’t crammed on the subject all
the afternoon for nothing.
But not a word could she get out of
the professor beyond “Um " and “ Ah.”
He was plainly very much bored, and
edged away after a while. Mrs. Sharpe
was in despair.
Presently Mrs. Marlborough Cmasus
got her into a corner,'and said:
“Why, what in the world do you
mean by talking forever to Professor
von Dunkelhelm about mum, and
creameries, and all that sort of thing ?"
“Isn’t that his specialty? Didn't
you tell me so ?”
“ Why, never in the world I”
“ What is it, then, for heaven's sake 1’"
“Buddha, of course. He’s written
any number of books about Buddhism.”
There is a marked coolness néw be-
tween Mrs. Sharpe and Mrs. Marlbor—
ough Croesus. Mrs. Sharpe says that
a woman who pronounces “Buddha"
like “butter” is hardly lit for culti-
vated society.
